The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2117

As he signaled to his group to begin, Minos saw them all taking their positions while the other guinea pigs watched Titus anxiously. At the same time, the scholars who had been involved in the planning of this experiment couldn't help but focus all their attention on the fox, full of doubts about what would happen from now on.

Minos had never focused on using his innate powers to transfer chaotic energy from the great bones of prehistoric beings to the beings of his forces. He usually helped many people simultaneously, and he had only done this before his advancement in Physique level and quality.

Therefore, no one knew what would happen now, and everyone was curious.

Given Minos' recent increase in power, he should be able to give Titus a lot of chaotic energy at once, something that would either hurt the old fox or change him significantly.

As soon as Minos began to act, sitting in front of Titus, everyone felt the spiritual pressure in the area change as some of the giant bones in the Spatial Kingdom trembled.

The space around Minos vibrated as deformations appeared between him and Titus, with a semi-transparent, glowing gray fluctuation emerging from those bones, circling around Emperor Stuart and condensing in front of him.

Minos' level rose to 92, while Titus closed his eyes and felt something penetrating his bones and essence.

His cultivation gradually began to rise, something that had previously been difficult to achieve when Minos did the same with his men or family members. It was challenging to steal this energy from the giant bones. When it was done on many people, no one would usually receive enough to level up immediately. The most that would happen was that those people would be able to absorb some of the chaotic energy and cultivate the normal spiritual energy of this world more easily.

As for stealing other cultivators' cultivation and giving it to his people with inferior talents, Minos had never helped any of his people temporarily raise their level beyond what their talents allowed.

But that was about to change!

While directing this special energy at Titus, Minos generated enough power to raise the fox's level to 90.

Titus felt this as his soul expanded and cracks appeared around his body, shaking in pain as he felt as if he would explode at any moment.

Minos tried his best to channel the chaotic energy of the giant bones into Titus' bone structure, knowing that this kind of special energy was stored in the skeleton.

As he did so, Minos realized that not only Titus' body was cracking amidst the fox's screams of agony, but his soul was suffering as well.

'I'll put some seals on his body, or he'll explode.' He moved his hands, activating the Divine Seal, not hesitating to place several inscriptions around Titus' body, trying to stabilize the old man's situation.

As he did so, Minos opened his eyes, looked inside Titus with the Bright Eyes, and saw that this guy's bone marrow was being transformed by the ridiculous amount of chaotic energy entering it.

He said as he continued to work on enriching Titus' skeleton and preventing this Nine-Tailed Fox from exploding. "His essence is changing rapidly. I can see that his spiritual nerves are absorbing the energy from the giant bones, and his bones are improving in quality. If we continue, his body will indeed evolve, as we concluded earlier."

The experts observing the experiment felt that this was good news.

"But his soul is not changing. If we try to force it to evolve, his soul will explode even as his body evolves." Minos delivered the bad news, drawing the attention not only of the guinea pigs and the scholars but also of Titus.

As much as Titus was in extreme agony, his fanaticism for finding a method of evolution for his species was so great that he heard and understood Minos' words.

"Go all the way. I'm willing to die if it allows us to develop something capable of changing the fate of the species limited by the 9th stage!" He said amid his suffering, his entire bestial body stained with blood and very sweaty as he lay trembling on the ground.

Minos took a deep breath when he heard this guy's answer. "Let's try something else so that this doesn't happen."

As soon as he said this, the entire Spatial Kingdom fell silent, and even people who had nothing to do with this experiment turned their eyes in that direction.

That was the case with Emlyn and Kyla, who watched with concern as the elder of their tribe went through this terrible experiment.

Minos activated his Soul Avatar and tried his best to combine this technique with the Dark Sea and the Infinite Dream to calm the situation of Titus' soul.

'We seem to have made a mistake, Your Majesty.' One of the experts observing the experiment said in the minds of Minos and all the other scholars there. 'I think the whole problem here is related to Titus' level. The fact that he's at the absolute peak of level 89 means that any attempt at evolution will push him forward. But maybe we've misunderstood the essence called the soul.

Maybe, just maybe, that part has to evolve on its own, gradually and slowly.'

'Do you think we'd have a better chance of success if we used someone at, say, level 88?' Minos understood what the Demigod meant.

'I think that's the case. Then I suggest that Your Majesty not try to raise Titus' cultivation level. We'd better not raise his cultivation.'

Another scholar said. 'However, the fact that we are injecting energy into his body will raise his cultivation level. Even before the experiment, Titus was on the verge of reaching the 10th stage. Any energy we give him will make him advance.'

Minos agreed. 'That's right. The experiment can't be stopped even if we wanted to. Part of Titus' body has already absorbed chaotic energy beyond what a Sage should have. He will reach the 10th stage even if we stop now, and his soul will eventually explode.'

Titus' soul was still whole only because of Minos' many actions. The moment he stopped using his powers on this guy, this fox would explode!

That was if he didn't find an answer in the few minutes left before he exhausted himself and couldn't hold the situation any longer.

'Your Majesty, the only way out of here is to follow the methods you gave us earlier.' One of the elders accompanying this experiment suggested talking about what Minos had received from the curse and passed it on to the group to study.
